Summer time

Isn't it so nice to finally have some warm weather? I am loving it!! It felt like I never got warm all winter long and the sun and the heat feel so very delicious. As you move through your activities this summer, think about the photos you are taking and get the ones with the family but also get the background photos that you may want to use as a background page. Sometimes general things tell a huge story that we want for background. The sea, a mountain, red rock color, the river, a canyon, rocks, the sky, etc. All of those things are great for building on when trying to make a point with photos on a page. Remember that you can use your photos as a transparency to write upon or to emphasize photos or people or places. The photos that tell your story are the ones you want to capture. Have fun, love lots and play hard!

Next...

Well, summer is here and we are in the thick of it!! This week and next week is the Manti Pagaent and we have plans to be there in a booth at the food court. I love this business and the fun of building my own books. It is interesting though how many people are interested but afraid of jumping in. If fear is holding you back, call me and let's get together so I can show you how easy it is.

The specials this month are great and you can find all of the information at www.myphotosatplay.com. Email me and I will get back to you. Keep taking those pictures and have some fun and we will get those memories and stories memorialized forever.

Feeling Overwhelmed?

Spring has sprung and we are all in the yard working and trying to make things very prettyful. It has gotten hot quickly and we seek the shade and a cool drink. As you sit thinking about the things on your "to do" list, don't hesitate to dig that box of pictures out and start going through them. Get them in some kind of order; themes, chronology, families, time periods, events, etc. Take the time to write down your memories, peoples names, places, funny facts, important facts, and the works so that they start to take some shape. As you move through this excercise, determine if you want to be creative or just get them into a book and out of that box in a hurry. Then give me a shout and I will help you get it put together so that you can enjoy those memories. Remember that Family History can be a lot of fun and nothing is set in concrete!!

Summer Has Begun

Well, we kicked the summer off with a booth at the Scandanavian Days celebration in Ephraim. It was pretty tough on the first day, the wind blew all the tents and awnings away and so we packed it up and went home. On Saturday we started over but things were better as well. By the end of the day I had seen lots of friends who didn't know I was helping others to do this. It was fun to see all of you who love me and want some help. I am excited to help you out! I love this business, they have so many quality things and the projects are endless and so much fun!!!

If you haven't had a chance to see them with your own eyes, give me a call and we can put something together. These projects make great gifts and fabulous keepsakes! I really want to help you preserve your memories like I am preserving mine!!

Up and Coming

This week ushers in the summer schedule. The time is here to become part of the community. We are setting up a booth at Scandanavian Days in Ephriam, Utah and we want to share with everyone!! Come and find us and let us show you what this digital scrapbooking stuff is all about!! It is so fun to see what you can do and never leave your house. You put it together and then let them do the work. The company is so awesome and they have such a great product but, don't take my word for it, come and see what we are doing!!

Oh, the FUN!

Digital scrapbooking is my new love!! Can I just tell you?? I was tending for my sister last night and was using her computer to do my stuff and I love the fact that you can work from any computer as long as you can get on line. These are two pages that I put together in a few minutes last night. I especially like the one on the left. It really is awesome to be able to work from anywhere. As my sister watched me put things together and the ease with which it went, she seemed to be amazed that it was so easy. That to me is the key; user friendly and convenience. When those things combine, it is a win, win situation. My creative juices are allowed to flow and everything seems to come together. Love that!!
PS. Double click on it and it should blow up so you can see it better.

Beginnings

Oh my, oh my.... The fun of digital scrapbooking!!! I havent' had this much fun in years I don't think! If you have found yourself arriving at that place where you can't decide what to do; you have all your photos on your computer or on discs and you need to decide whether to print them and scrapbook them or finally go digital, let me help. Going digital is so much nicer. You can save your favorite papers by scanning them, you can organize the photos how you want, tell the story and then print your book. And, when the book comes, you are so thrilled with the quality that words just don't describe.
